It’s Autumn in Wellington, and due to rain later this week! Do you happen to be on the South Island of New Zealand, wandering the streets of its favorite metropolis, looking for a place to huddle and keep out of the rain? Lucky for you, there’s an abundance of museums and indoor sites to check out.

1. Weta Cave & Workshop. If you’ve seen a movie this past decade, you’re sure to love the Weta Workshop, the big name behind the special effects and props of The Lord of the Rings. Sign up for a tour of the studio and check out behind-the-scenes magic to countless movies including Mad Max, Avatar, District 9, The Chronicles of Narnia and TV shows like Xena. Stop by the Weta Cave Shop and its mini museum and troll sculptures—don’t forget your souvenir. Open every day 9am to 5pm.

2. Te Papa Museum. The country’s best museum is a fantastic way to spend a rainy afternoon and learn all about New Zealand history, geology, art, wildlife and culture. You can spend hours playing with the interactive exhibits; or join a tour on Maori culture and Gallipoli. What’s more—it’s all free. Open every day from 10am to 6pm, and on Thursdays to 9pm.

3. Coffeeee. Do as the locals do and pass your rainy morning at a Wellington cafe. CNN recently named the city as one of the top 8 coffee capitals in the world. Drop by The Waterfront or L’Affare for some locally roasted beans. Or go all in with cupcakes at Floriditas.

4. Foood! One of the best things about Wellington is the covered food stalls at Capital Market. Take your pick of Asian bowls, gluten-free deli, BBQ, fish and chips and a juice bar.

5. Catch a film at an Arthouse Cinema. Wellington has plenty of old theaters, throwbacks to the golden era of cinema. The Paramount and The Penthouse are all old world nostalgia. The Roxy is a shining star of art deco, fully restored to its former glory. For something a bit more state-of-the-art, stop by the Embassy Theatre, 1920’s art deco that was restored by Director Peter Jackson for his The Lord of the Rings premieres.
